C15 4x2 emergency brake cables

[Hanno Spoelstra]

I'm looking for a set of two e-brake / handbrake cables for my Chevrolet C15 4x2 15-cwt truck.

Part no. is *1799285

The cables are approximately 92.5 cm (36.4") in length.

Can anyone help?

Some pics of the original ones to compare with:

Those cables look very similar to the C8 hand brake cables. I found two NOS cables for a late nineteen thirties (spell checker) light commercial Chevy that fitted the C8 perfectly.

Maybe you could have a look on the Chevy parts web sites - Jim Carter and the others - Chevs of the 40s

This is similar , might be possible to shorten it to suit the C15

If the cable above is otherwise (except for length) suitable, look for a company that manufactures control cables. When I wanted to shorten cables for the 15 cwt CMP trailer I used Aircraft Spruce https://www.aircraftspruce.com/categ.../controls.html and they were able to cut the existing cable assembly to the length I specified and swage a new ball onto the end. Naturally, if you can find a closer supplier the shipping won't hurt as much. Nothing done to aviation standards is cheap but....

Hanno,

Have you checked this thread?

I can bring the ones I bought on Ebay and compare it with your originals so see if they would be the proper length for your C15.....than at least you know what to look out for.
